Final Day in China!!

We spent our last full day in China at a huge animal safari. It was drizzling most of the day...the strollers got wet, but we all had a lot of fun!

 Derek & Karilee loved having a chance to sit on an elephant! They had an awesome elephant, monkey and safari animal shows. It was amazing!! Such a good way to end our trip! 

Now we are packing up our room for the LONG journey home!!

A bell boy will come to our room at 6 am to pick up our luggage. The hotel is sending breakfast boxes with us as we will check out and leave the hotel by 6:15.

Our flight leaves at 9 am and we have a 2 1/2 hr flight to Shanghai.

At Shanghai we have a 4 1/2 hr layover. Seem's kind of long, but we may be glad...we will need to collect our baggage then go to American Airlines and recheck it in there.  Go through international security and maybe grab a bite to eat before we board our long flight.

American Airlines leaves at 4:20..... a 13 hr flight. Praying for the best with 2 toddlers. 

Arrive in Chicago around 4:40 pm. Claim our luggage & go through Immigration's. (Javonn becomes US citizen!)

6:30 pm leave for Watertown, NY! Woo-Hoo!!!!! In Chicago we will part ways with Aunt Ruth and she will fly on to OH.

It makes me tired just thinking of the trip, but we are so ready to be home, we are ready to embrace the long trip for the joy that awaits at the end!

Thank you so much for praying for us on this trip, it ment so much to us!
